Developed and released in 2004, Wilderness Views is an interactive, online, teaching tool helping students learn about and explore wilderness. From "What is wilderness?" to "How is wilderness managed?" the module provides insight into the unique resource of wilderness in the United States. Through an interactive timeline students can learn the history of wilderness leading up to the enactment of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Historic and current perspectives on "Why wilderness?" are presented through biographical sketches and video interviews. Management scenarios place the student into a wilderness manager's role by presenting real-life situations that guide individuals through a decision-making process considering consequences and outcomes. A teacher resources section provides teachers with lessons and information to incorporate the module into classroom learning. Click on the link below to explore Wilderness Views.
